Kokom’s as Caregiver’s

Facilitator – Dr. Leona Makokis

This presentation will journey through three phases of our collective experience. It focuses on our Cree worldview, traditions, values, beliefs and language that have been passed down to us. Secondly, there will be a brief review of the European influence on our lives and, finally, where we are today and how we can continue to practice what has been passed down to us by our elders. It is our responsibility to learn and to teach our children about who we are. My grandfather told me that “we cannot skip a generation.” He said, “I and other elders will be gone and if you don’t learn your culture, who is going to teach your children and grandchildren,” This presentation will shared through story.
